Supportive Housing Program
Our supportive housing has a complement of ten bachelor units. All of the units are rent-geared-to-income units and are located at our Simcoe Street location. These are very simple units that begin the transition toward greater independent living, housing stability and tenancy. Individuals can then transition to apartments with all the amenities. The support provided for our supportive housing tenants are available twenty-four hours a day and are generally more intensive as this assists the individual in transitioning into the next step of the housing continuum.
Some of the supports Include:
- Financial Literacy
- Grocery shopping trips
- Food bank support
- Mental Health support
- Referrals to community partners
- Like skills
- Cooking classes
- Recreational activities
“Our belief is that those who do not have a home are unable to stabilize and become healthy until their basic needs are met.”
